A plea to Wiki

So, I was working on our church website and I decided to stop by Wikipedia for some quick information. When I clicked on the Presbyterian Church (USA) link, I found all of this weird stuff, mostly odd gleefulness about the loss of membership in our denomination and the maligning of our missionary work (due to the fact that we don’t send as many missionaries as we used to). It was as if the news of recent “rapid shrinking” was particular to the PC(USA) and isn’t in step with most Protestants, including conservative evangelicals. 

After much hostility, there was an entry on ECO, which (sadly) is not a movement for ecological justice. It’s yet another Presbyterian offshoot of the Mother Church--because the Evangelical PC, Orthodox PC, PC in America, the Bible PC didn't quite fit their needs, they had to form another one. The paragraph was a bit of an advertisement for the people who sought to be free of the conflict and decline. (That's what was written. Free of conflict… can Calvinists be free of conflict?) 

Many of the sources cited the Layman and the Institute for Religion and Democracy—both groups have an agenda which contradicts our denominational stance on recognizing the call of all people to serve as ministers, elders and deacons, no matter what their sexual orientation might be. Many of the other citations came from Jewish groups who were frustrated by the work Presbyterians have done on behalf of the Palestinians.
